The Narrator THIS HAS HAPPENED Vance prevents Markham from arresting Leacock when Pfyfe's story implicates the captain. It is brought out that Pfyfe had been in Alvin Benson’s power because of a forged check. Leacock confesses to} the murder, but Vance exposes the: confession as a lie to shield Miss St. Clair. Vance prevails upon Mark- ham to question Mrs. Platz once more, NOW BEGIN THE STORY e CHAPTER XLVIII know, Markham, our so-called! civ’lization is nothing more than the| persistent destruction of everything that’s beautiful and enduring, and| the designing of cheap makeshifts, You should read OswaNi Spengler’s Untergang des Abendlands—a most penetratin’ document. I wonder some enterprisin’ publisher hasn’t em- balmed it in our native argot.* “The whole history of this degen’- rate era we call modern civ’lization can be seen in our woodwork. Look at that fine old door, for instance, with its beveled panels and orna- mer.ted bolection, and Tonic pilasters and carved lintel. And then compare it with the flat, flim- sy, machine-made, shellacked boards which are turned out by the thou- sand today. Sic transit. . ” Vance studied the door for some time; then turned abruptly back to Mrs. Platz, who was eyeing him curiously and with mounting ap- prehension. “What did Mr. Benson do with the box of jewels when he went out to cinner?” he asked. ¢ “Nothing, sir,” she answered nerv- ously. “He left them on the table there.” “Dic you see them after he had gone?” “Yes; and I was going to put them away. But I decided I’d bet- ter not touch them.” “And nobody came to the door, or entered the house, after Mr. Ben- son left?” “No, sir.” “You're quite sure?” “I’m positive, sir. Vance rose, and began to pace the floor. Suddenly, just as he was passing the woman, he stopped and faced her. “Was your maiden name Hoff- man, Mrs. Platz?” The thirg she had been dreading had come. Her face paled, her cyes opened wide, and her lower lip dro. ped a little. Vance stood looking at her, not unk‘adly. Before she could regain contro: of herself, he said: “I had the pleasure of meeting our charmin’ daughter recently.” “My daughter... .?” the woman managed to stammer. “Miss Hoffman, y’ know—the at- tractive young lady with the blond hair. Mr. Benson’s secret’ry.” The woman sat erect, and spoke through, clamped teeth. “She’s not my daughter.” “Now, now, Mrs. Platz!” Vance chided ier, as if speaking to a child. “Why this foolish attempt at deception? You remember how worried you were when I accused you of Laving a personal interest in the lady who was here to tea ‘with Mr. Benson? You were afraid I thought it wes Miss Hoffman. wae eat why should you be anx- ious about her, Mrs. Platz? I'm sure ?he’s a very nice girl., And you really can’t blame her for pre- ferring the name of Hoffman to that of Platz. “Platz means generally a place, though it also means a crash or an explosion; and sometimes a Platz is a ton ra yeast-cake. But a Hoff- man isa much nicer than being a yeast-cake, what?” MURDER CASE VAN DINE @ aus» coum on’ made her come to the hotise herg iq) the evenings to do extra work. “And you wanted to be. here tq protect her?” : am sir—that was it.” “Why were you 80 morning after the (elfen Mr. Markham here asked you if Mr, Benson kept any fire-arms the house?” | The woman shifted her gaze. “I—wasn’t worried.” “Yes, you were, Mrs. Platz.

She was badly shaken: the net= vous t-nsion of a week had snaj and she looked helplessly about, * “Come, come, Mrs, Platz,” plesd- ed Vance consolingly. “No one be< lieves for a moment that Miss Hoff. man hed a hand in Mr. Benson's death.” The woman peered search! into his face. At first she was loa‘ vw Coen tes was eae that fear hid long been preying on mind,—and it took him fully a ter of an hour to convince her that what he had said was true. finally, we left the house she in « comparatively pea of mind. On our way to the Stuyvesant Club Markham was silent, complete ly engrossed with his thoughts. I was eviden, that the new facts educed by the interview with Mrs, Platz troubled him considerably. Vance sat smoking di Fy turning ie ee now and then tol inspect the buildings we passed. We drove east through Forty4 eighth street, and when we came abreast of the New York Bible Society House he ordered the a feur to stop, and insisted that “Christianity,” he remai almos’ vindicated itself by its ar chitecture alone. With few tions, the only bujjdings in this | that are not eyesores, are thi churches and their allied tures. “The American aesthetic credo ist| Whatever's big is beautiful. depressin’ garzantuan boxes rectangular holes in ’em, which are| called si serge are worshipped’ by Americans rimply because they’ xe huge.

It’s ine finitely lovelier—and more impres-' sive, too—than any skyscraper in the city, . . Vance referred but once to the crime during our ride to the club, and then only indirectly. “Kind hearts, y’ know, Markham, are ~-ore than coronets. I’ve don a good deed today, and I feel pos tively virtuous. Frau Platz wilk sleep much better tonight. She has been frightfully upset about little Gretchen. She’sa loughtly old soul; motherly and all that. “And she couldn’ bear to think of the future ® Lady Vere de Vere being suspected. . Wonder why she worried so?” And he gave Markham a sly look. Nothing further was said until after dinner, which we ate in the Roof Garden. We had pushed back our chzirs, and sat looking out over the tree-tops of Madison Square. ‘Now, Markham,” said Vance, “give over all prejudices, and con- sider the situation judiciously—as you lawyers euphemistically put it. . . «To begin with, we now know why Mrs. Platz was so wo at your question regarding fire-arms, and why she wi ipset by erence to her Benson’s tea companion.
